Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The mid-twentieth century Great Acceleration represents a pronounced, relatively sharp threshold in human modification of the global environment.

    “It represents a pronounced, relatively sharp threshold in human modification of the global environment, and the wide extent of discernable effects in areas far distant from urban centres has already led to the suggestion that a Holocene/Anthropocene boundary may be placed around this level (Wolfe et al., 2013).”
  • The doubling of the surface reactive nitrogen reservoir (a result of fertilizer manufacture via the Haber-Bosch process) is reflected in nitrogen isotope changes in far-field lacustrine deposits.

    “doubling of the surface reactive nitrogen reservoir (a result of fertilizer manufacture via the HabereBosch process), reflected in nitrogen isotope changes in far-field lacustrine deposits (Holtgrieve et al., 2011;Wolfe et al., 2013);”
  • Northern Hemisphere lakes show increasingly depleted δ15N values, beginning ~1895 C.E. and accelerating over the past 60 years.

    “Northern Hemisphere lakes show increasingly depleted δ 15 N values ( 53, 54 ), beginning ~1895 C.E. (Fig. 3B) and accelerating over the past 60 years.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
